Paperback. Condición: New. Many Christians find themselves unable to escape from past sins. They have repented of them, they have handed them over to God. But they can't forget them. Instead they relive their past over and over and, in the process, become increasingly burdened by a sense of failure. Carrying this false guilt around can be like walking backwards - exhausting, awkward and confusing. Jeff Lucas reminds us that it is God's will that we leave our past failures behind us. When we confess our sins, God's forgiveness is total! Only when we fully understand this will we be able to turn round and face the future, and be free to enjoy the life and hope he has to offer.

Author, activist and new monastic, Shane Claiborne had this to say about Totally Devoted : Every few hundred years, it seems that the Church gets infected by the world around us and we forget who we are called to be. And every few hundred years, there are folks on the fringes of the faith who hear a whisper to leave the materialism and militarism and all the clutter of the culture. and to go to the margins, and the desert and the abandoned places to rethink what it means to be Christian. Here is another piece of evidence that there is a movement once again hearing the ancient whisper of God to repair the Church which is in ruins. -Publisher.

In 8 concise punchy chapters Dave unpacks the hidden dynamics in the 8 Be-Attitudes and shows us how they can help us reshape our personal-political worlds. "When I met Dave Andrews a few years ago, I could feel the fire burning in him. Then I heard him speak. Then I read his books. Ever since, he has been and continues to be a major inspiration for my life and work. . I think Plan Be will be his most widely - read book yet." - Brian McLaren, author and activist.

Paperback. Condición: New. A book to encourage young people to look carefully at what is going on at the heart of themselves - their core inner being - to examine their hearts before God and to allow him to speak, and to change and heal them. Proverbs 4:23 says we are to pay attention to the state of our hearts above all else. If it is the most important thing, does that mean it is more important than serving God? Yes. Because unless our serving comes from a heart of love for him it becomes empty deeds that mean nothing. Isn't worship important? Yes, but our worship can only flow from hearts that have been captured by God. Isn't it important to read our Bibles and get to know God? Yes, but we go to his word not to educate ourselves about him but to know him with our whole hearts. Isn't it important to tell our friends who don't know Jesus about him? Yes, but if he hasn't first captivated our hearts why would we want to? With the heart being so important, do we understand what's going on in there? This book seeks to illuminate, to draw us near to God and to allow him to minister to our hearts.

Paperback. Condición: New. The call of Deep Church is not just for theologians and church leaders; it is also about each individual Christian experiencing and knowing that Jesus rescues from the depths and changes them deeply In this book Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing explore the concept of Deep Church in a 21st-century context. They argue that a missionary congregation needs to be deeply evangelical and evangelistic, deeply reliant on the power of the Holy Spirit, deeply engaged with its surrounding culture and community, deeply realistic about its limitations and temptations, and deeply convinced of its faith, in the face of all other worldviews and alternatives. Deep Church is about restoring the heart of the Christian faith within a rapidly changing and demanding culture, without lurching from one new methodology to another, rescuing today's church from unnecessary disillusionment, and wholeheartedly embracing Christ and his Kingdom.

Paperback. Condición: New. Holiness is totally about our orientation to a Holy, perfect God who sees us, calls out our name and blesses us abundantly. Holiness is often taught as being about how well we live out our Christian faith and what we should and shouldn't do. This makes it about how well we perform as a believer. In A Monkey's Orientation holiness is unpacked and looked at as more about orientating ourselves to the Fathers blessing, making it about where we are rather than what we do.

After many years as a single Christian woman, she embarked on a dating experiment - to go on twenty first dates, with twenty men, met in twenty different ways. Over the course of a year, Rebecca was almost compromised on the dance floor, stranded in a muddy village and the catcher of a bouquet. She sheltered under a cupcake box, waited nervously in line for results and spent hours trawling profiles on the Internet. She was driven in a rusty car with no floor and chased by an angry granny.

She was confused, amused, frustrated and dazzled in equal measure. This is the true story of one woman's determined search for the man of her dreams, with plenty of practical advice on the world of Christian dating.
